I just bought one golden boy and haven't had a chance to get to the range yet, bought some Winchester 22 win mag 40 grain 1910 fps full metal jacket and wondering if you think they will be to much or not ?
well my first question is.... do you have a 22 Win Mag (WMR) rifle? the ones in this video are 22LR and the two do not interechange. assuming the rifle is 22 Win Mag, yeah, should be ok even though i do not at all like the Winchester 22 Win Mag ammo. it quite often is hard to extract BUT with a lever action, might do ok. for 22 WMR I much prefer CCI Maxi Mag.
@@CloverTac I have the one in the video the golden boy 22 mag .17 HMR with the brass lever
wait? 22 mag and 17 hmr are also two different carridges and teh ones in the video are 22lr... so i am super confused here my friend... what does it say on the barrel of your rifle? that is the ammo you should be using. you may not be as confused as i am right not (maybe just a communication gap) but PLEASE be certain before you try to fire the wrong type of ammo, that may not end well for you or the rifle
@@CloverTac it says .22 S/L/LR on the barrel
then you have the WRONG ammo my friend. you need to find some 22LR (22 long rifle). 22WMR or 17HMR will not work for you. WHEW! so glad we were able to clear that up.
Great comparison. I have both rifles as well. The golden boy is a fine looking gun but I'm more comfortable with my classic especially if I'm dragging it through the bush. I've had the classic longer and like the angle of the stock, it's much flatter than the golden boy. But the Fit and finish of the golden boy is amazing.
yup, indeed, thanks for sharing
Nice review, I shot my buddies classic a day ago, the sights were so easy to put on target and smooth silky action. I was so impressed I went to buy one. My gun store had a classic and golden boy, I wanted the golden boy so bad because it was beautiful but couldn't see the front sight as well,went with the classic.
I took the hood off my classic and I can see the sight better.
Thanks for the heads up
Thank you very much. Have a beautiful and blessed weekend.
appreciated and same back at ya
I just bought the Henry Golden Boy. I looked at the classic yesterday and again today before buying the Golden Boy they where the same price at differnt gun shops so I got the pretty one. I went to shoot put in ear protection and didn't think it was firing but of course it was I like it!
nice, keep us posted how things turn out
Late to the party but I LOVE CCI minimags, followed closely by that winchester red box you got there but they tent to shoot high I've noticed
better late than never my friend
That shirt you're wearing is awesome. Oh, and those guns are pretty sweet too :)
thanks, retro tees are sorta my thing.... easy to tell if you watch very many of my videos.... think i did a video about my collection of tees a while back, may be time to visit that again 🤣😂🤣😂
This is really good comparison of these two rifles . I also have both of these beautiful rifles and just love em . Thanks for the info.
sadly i ended up having to part with one, chose to let the classic go and keep the Texas, think i made the right choice there 🤣😂
@@CloverTac I myself , couldn't part with either one . Sorry that you had to let one get away .
Nice video.
How do you find shooting with the notch and wide blade of the H001 compared to the buckhorn and gold bead of the GoldenBoy? Is either more or less precise in your opinion?
Regarding the ammo you used...
I recently went to the range with some Winchester Super X and some other ammo. After shooting the others, which were also high-velocity rated around 1200-1300 fps, the Winchester surprised me. The blast and recoil were noticeably greater. I guess it is a "hotter" rimfire load, not far behind the Stingers, etc. And the Super X seemed to group as well as the others.
Be safe.
Honestly, i do not like the Henry semi buckhorn rear sight. It is different than the Marlin buckhorn style that I am used to and way different than the they typical v notch on most everything. Some people swear by it but at distances farther than about 50 yards, just does not really work for me. I did not notice this that much until i was sent the 30-30 and started trying to shoot with them at those longer distances. ruclips.net/video/pAuZYwEx1tM/видео.html
@@CloverTac different question . Have you ever used a peep sight.
I got the Henry Classic Youth because that was all that was available. Like it very much, but not as much as my Marlin 39A(1950's) that I inherited from my father. Now(because I can) I'm getting a Henry Golden Boy because the Henry Octagon Frontier was out of stock. I'm sure I'll have fun shooting it. Why limit yourself to just one, and the Golden Boy will go into the collection of the many(I wish I could say several) 22LR rifles I have. Bolt action, lever action and auto, they are all fun. The fact that I'm older now, and can have more that one sure plays a factor though.
heck yeah, i agree, it is totally fine to want them all for sure. and yeah, henry has really struggled during these cough cough times at keeping things rolling out the door, that has affected what you see on the shelves for sure
Go golden boy. Love that thing. Fun little plinker.
I have both the big difference is the barrel angles, if you put them on top of each other the Classic has a straighter barrel approach, while the Golden boy has a bigger angle. Shooint my sons classic as soon as I pull it up I am straight and ready to fire, the Golden Boy however requires you to lift the barrel higher to be straight!
are you talking about how there is more drop to the comb of the stock with the golden boy than the classic?
I have a classic thats never even been shot but thats because its a limited edition and it's just to nice to take out and put a bunch of rounds through in my opinion but I will say it seems to be a very nice well built gun, and the paticular one i have is chambered in .22 magnum
yeah, i have taken a lot of flack for shooting this one BUT that is the reason Henry sent it to me, to test and review. which limited edition do you have?
@@CloverTac it is a limited edition NRA gun has a large NRA emblem engraved on the buttstock my dad got it for me probably 6 or 7 years ago and I understand completely if they sent me a free one to shoot id shoot it lol
@@blazebox71 nice
I have the classic 22LR Octagon 20" barrel.
Just bought it a couple weeks ago.
Have not fired it yet.
keep us posted once you get a chance to get out and enjoy it
This test seemed like the Classic was the real way to go. Cheaper, more consistent the classic seems like the better bang for your buck !
yeah maybe, if you are not after having something special or collectible or whatever but then again there is no doubt when it comes to looks, the golden boy stuff is just beautiful
I think they just need some adjusting zero in work
Henry Classic Carbine is lighter, shorter and easier to maneuver when hunting. Performance over looks is the most important.
Great vid...yes, the Golden boy has the looks, I've owned two...gorgeous. But the classic is more practical...its shorter barrel, lighter weight makes the classic the better everyday 22...that being said, buy both !!
correct answer, you win the internet today
Henry rifles are great and Customer Service is second to none
I haven't yet shot my Golden Boy .22 LR, but will headed to the range soon.
oh wow, cool, first be safe, second have fun, third, let us know how it all goes
Getting my henry classic next week!!
very cool, keep us posted how that goes
Golden Boys are hard to come by!! My local Gun Shop took a month of locating! Thank God he didn't gouge on price!!
@@hiltonlouque1504 everything is hard to come by right now, glad to hear he was fair, there are a lot of places that are not right now
I try several different rounds to see what the rifle likes. I have a CZ 457. I tried so many lol it likes Eley.
most do... probably why it has won more gold medals than anything and also why it is a bit pricey
It’s just too pretty to shoot…but that particular golden boy would make a nice retirement gift for a Texas State Trooper 😎
probably, all of them who actually used lever guns back in the day are probably already retired
I just retired and received an inscribed Golden Boy rifle. It is a beautiful gun that I will cherish for the rest of my days. Not sure if I can bring myself to shoot it or not. I am looking for a wall display case rather than putting it out of site in the gun safe.
I love that Golden Boy design..
right!
Always and only CCI mini mag for hunting. Plinking with anything except Remington junk ammo Wich I won't shoot at all
I have a question... I am getting my first gun probably soon, maybe next month I know I am getting a Henry.. stuck on which one I should get.
If you're thinking a .22 Henry, can't go wrong with either the Classic or Golden Boy. They both function the exact same, it's really just a matter of personal preference of the gun's appearance. If you don't mind the way the Classic looks, go for it, it's cheaper. If you want the nice brass frame, the Golden Boy ain't that much more expensive. Both are great rifles.
The buttstock of the classic feels much better on your shoulder than the curved metal.
There is a large price difference. Are any of the internals different? Like is the feed ramp aluminum in the golden boy like it is in the classic?
so from the MSRP standpoint, there really isn't much of a price difference... less than $100 with similar barrel & stock configuration. it could be that retailers are marking up the golden boy more. on parts, i have never tried to interchange anything. i can tell you that the parts appear to be similar but they do have slightly different part numbers. this could just be an inventory tracking thing. good questions and i would absolutely suggest giving Henry a call.
@@CloverTac must be a retailer mark up. Was 350 for the classic and 550 for the golden boy near me. That being said I have the classic and its ran perfect for me. Was just pondering if the extra $200 will be worth it one day.
it all just depends... some folks are fine with the plain jane, some folks want all the extras... same with cars, washing machines and anything else. i do think kept nice, a golden boy, even the plain ones, will hold value better than a classic BUT if you are wanting a fun little shooter... the odds of keeping it nice are probably low. so why not just stick with the classic and have fun.
@@CloverTac yea I get ya. So basically its a chrome finish and a bit more barrel and that's it I'm guessing. Either way my classic one is lots of fun to shoot. One day I may upgrade. Both guns are worth it for what you get in my opinion. If you told me the internals where higher quality as well as the exterior I would be tempted to trade in my classic so I could get a golden boy.
i haven't really noticed much different (other than looks) between my two. the trigger might be just a little better and the lever a little smoother (out of the box) on the Texas Edition but not by much... especially after you use the classic a bunch
Essa carabina Henry gold texas é muito linda top.
muito obrigado pelas amáveis palavras
🙂👍🇧🇷🗽🗽🗽🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫👍
good
Why is the receiver never discussed. Is it aluminum ?
was a comparison here and the receivers being basically the same aside from the brasslite cover on the golden boy, just didn't mention it... guessing, who knows, recorded this one a while back, maybe i am just an idiot. yes, you are correct it is an alloy, not steel.
@@CloverTac
I wonder if marlin made a 39 in 22 wmr.
@@flatheadfletch no 22 WMR for the 39 and the only 22 WMR lever i know of that Marlin made was the levermatic which was sorta a lever action that looked a lot like the model 60 so not really a cowboy style rifle
@@CloverTac the Marlin 1894m was made to shoot 22 magnums.
I like the sights and the stock on the classic. The golden boy is too flamboyant for my taste.
@@mikeofmanymikes2630 🤣😂
Wow seems the original Henry is the winner and the GBT it’s beautiful but his performance not so good against the Original Henry you bought it for looks but not for Performance Great video
eh, they are pretty close to the same, the sights on the GB are a bit different and i have never been able to get used to that style.
I know this is a little old but those shot groups suck really bad at 50 feet on a rest.
I can't blame the sights. Can't blame the rest either. Seems like you know what your talking about so it's probably not your breathing and even if your eyesight is bad you still have the same sight picture.
That leaves the ammo. The one thing I have noticed about .22 ammo now is it isn't like it used to be. I found that CCIs usually work the best. Long gone are the days of head shots on squirrels with cheap bulk packs.
sorta back handed here but will address it anyway. so, i am well documented at saying i am not good with buckhorn and semi buckhorn sights... which is what these use...so there is that. the triggers are not great BUT i really think it is combination of the sight thing PLUS having to break form and sight picture unlike a bolt action or semi auto. "is one better" is not an accruacy test, it is just comparing the two, if the groups are similar, well, they are similar bad or not, right? oh and you just THINK this video is old... PLEASE for the love of all that is holy DO NOT look up anything older than this. 😂🤣
@@CloverTac Sorry if you thought I was bitch slapin' you. Not my intent. My intent rather was to trash .22 ammo now.
At 55 and growing up meat was good. So at 30 yards you would aim and hit squirells in the head. Gut shot really ain't good for small game. Shotguns weren't either so you learned how to shoot.
.22 today is so unreliable on accuracy to hit where you are aiming. With .22 it seems quality has went out the door.
oh 22 in general has always been super dirty and unreliable compared to centerfire stuff... really nothing new. biggest thing is the vast majority of 22 firearm owners do not realize this and end up bashing the firearms instead of understanding the inherent ammo limitations. i can absolutely confirm that if actual true "match grade" 22 ammo is used, it will 100% of the time out perform any non match ammo in any firearm, period. two reasons when doing videos i try to stick with run of the mill ammo instead of high end stuff, first, it give a more realistic example of what most people out there should expect because most are not going to go high end and second, i can't afford to run match ammo through everything in every video. 🤣😂 of course if Eley happens to be reading this comment, i am not oppose to a sponorship deal from that that would allow such a change in my content. ❤Eley❤
I use the cheapest ammo available because I know the the Henry cycles anything I throw at it
yup, if you are not shooting a match and/or you are not running a semi auto, not much need for anything expensive usually, thanks for sharing
You cycle it your self when you rack the lever smart guy
@@CloverTac Testing the regular golden boy gets her Texas edition that or be your new video do you reckon there’s any difference
@@robertward9533 just because you manually cycle the action by hand does not mean that all ammunition will feed smoothly while cycling, some can hang up on feed ramps, etc and therefore still not cycle properly, smart guy :)
@@robertward9533 my apologies here but i do not understand what you are asking, rephrase, please?
Just purchased a Golden Boy, so beautiful hate to shoot it!!
i hear ya! had this one not been sent to me by Henry for the purposes of testing and reviewing, i would probably be leaving it in the safe and only take it out to fondle it. LOL
I know most of the conversation is Henry but I have to mention that a year ago I purchased a Marlin CSBL 357 that I had to have for the looks lol!!
@@hiltonlouque1504 nothing wrong with that
I love .22's & lever action rifles = I had to get Goldenboy!
With that said it's a fun o'l time shooting. Time to do the penny test & Shoot penny's!!
yeah that is always fun, thanks for the comment
For some reason I can never find them afterwards.🤔
Well we know who has all the money buying them high dollar Henry's. And buying high dollar plywood just to shoot it up. There's people going through hurricanes that would love to have that plywood 😆🤣😂 Awesome video clover 🍀👏 . I am wanting to get a Henry 22 frontiers with a 24" barrel.
so first off, in what freaking world would i actually shoot this Texas rifle if i paid for it? that was a stipulation of the T&E, which sorta sucks. second, you obviously have not been following my range woes with plywood over the last several months. it is all chewed up and can't afford to replace it, so i have cardboard stapled over the big huge holes. i wish it was as you claim but revenue and funds are total garbage right now, thankful for what little is coming in sure, but it sucks. that is why i started a baseball card channel, trying to do some things that might help keep the firearm stuff going.
Lol 😆🤣😂
My wife says that an extra inch and a half in barrel length makes a difference.
yep, especially so when you only got 2 to start with 😂🤣
@@CloverTac On a good day!
Henry 22 Golden boy first gun I got and first gun I shot a roo with
Iron sight
Love them
wow! that is pretty cool, most folks do not start out on something nearly as nice. thanks for sharing
Do you have the hat that your wearing for sale?
yeah but right now i only have them in the neon blue, not green. and, until i sell out, since i only make a couple bucks per cap, i don't have the funds for another order. you can keep tabs on them over at clovertac.com. just scroll down and there is a link to the store, everything in stock should show up. when i re order, i usually do black, neon green, neon blue, neo orange and neon pink.
Thanks I will by a few hats when they are ready I will like /ring your youtube channel. Thanks!
roger that. my revenue streams are picking up, they are HORRIBLE during the summer months... of course now I am saving for SHOT Show 2023 but, hopefully i can just break down and order some more in the next few weeks or so.
The classic is lighter and the buttstock shoulders much better than the contoured metal. Looks and sights go to the Golden Boy, functionality to the Classic.
for sure
The hood is removable for us that don’t want it on the front sight.
correct
I ues remington 22 viper
don't see many of the vipers around much anymore, cool
Bling or no bling ...that is the question.
valid 🤣😂
22 lever action rifles... love em? hate em? why? DO TELL!
Bought mine YESTERDAY....
Been a MARLIN 60 fanboy for YEARS... still love'm....
BUT... My 2012 REMLIN MARLIN BROKE a Trigger Guard (plastic) ...
My 1971 glenfield with "The Squirrel" stock doesn't feed right and Tube magazine lock stud is worn down , my 1984 plain stock 18 round is a winner and accurate as ALMOST my Remlin was BUTT it's 36 Y/o !!!
I want a 22 I KNOW will feed anything for 20 years AT LEAST....
I bought a HENRY,,,,,

@@CloverTac You ALWAYS seem to reply... thanks ALOT!!! Great style, approach, and content as well.
@@jpb1231000 i try 🤪
Love them. I have some other nice guns but there is something special taking out a lever gun. Running 22 is nice in a lever gun as well. I found my lever henry is incredibly reliable even with junk ammo.
I only hit thumbs up for the accent.
whatever works i guess 🤣😂
Golden boy is better my opinion its action is way more smooth than the classic and i don't see the point of a light weight lever gun 6 pounds ain't hard to manage
even though they are pretty much the same mechanically, yeah, gotta agree the golden boys seem a little more refined while the baseline stuff is more utilitarian
I don't know why one would be better than the other. Sure the Golden Boy is prettier but I don't know why one would shoot better than the other.
octagonal barrel vs regular, minor differences is sights, comb height.... there are a few things. end of the day, it was a question used to make a video to showcase two rifles, not much more ❤
@@CloverTac well I have 2 golden boys 22lr. And 22 mag
.also have a regular Henry 22 lever action and a 22 pump Henry. As for as I'm concerned I don't really think there is a difference. But that is just me.
@@CloverTac have you ever used peep sights before.
i have skinner alaskan peeps on my Henry 30-30 actual videos on the channel documenting that. i do not do well at all with a semi buckhorn sight. as for the differences... well, you are right, people have opinions. i don't think i really made one here, just posed the question and let people sorta figure out what they think from there. i did send up letting go of my classic a few months back, definitely kept the Texas one, being a Texan, just cannot ever part with that one for sure. 🤣😂
@@CloverTac I understand. I'm going to try the peep sights just haven't got them yet. Thanks for the info.and your opinion.
Amo….What ever is on sale…They all do the same thing….We’ll almost😜

@@joetrombatore5704 don't blame me 🤣😂
What ever is bulk and cheap
serious question or are you just being sarcastic?
@@CloverTac honest to God dead serious
@@austinjohnson6982 so I consider 325, 500, 525, 555 round boxes for say under $20 as bulk/cheap ammo. to hit on your other question of paying $10 for 50... or even $20 for 50, in most cases that is higher match grade ammunition that makes a profound and noticeable different when you are talking competition. so there is a reason for it, olympic champions for example do not shoot bulk/cheap junk. now, that said, if you are going to shoot cans in the back pasture, yup, just go cheap/bulk, for sure
In the beginning, he complaine about his noisy neighbor,
um that was not complaing, that was just letting people know 😂🤣 i don't even bother saying anything anymore, haven't in a while. if there is noise, bugs, whatever, oh well, not much i can do about it anyway. thing is my neighbors are all family. and oddly enough, seems they wait until i am on the range filming before they decide to brugh hog, dig holes with the backhoe, etc.
